Ruth - Storyteller - Bible Study Book - Original: Faithfulness in Famine
Many of the stories of the Bible involve seismic events—worldwide floods, warring kings, an entire people being taken into exile. But other stories are small and personal. Tucked into the beginning of the Old Testament is one such story in the book of Ruth.
When we meet Ruth, her husband has died, and she is traveling with her mother-in-law to a land that is not her own. Though the circumstances seem dire, they are not beyond God’s control.
The book of Ruth invites us to wait and hope along with the characters as we wait and hope for our redemption. Through Ruth we find a God who is always at work behind the scenes ready to show his faithfulness.

November 18, 2024Our Sunday School group walked through the small book of Ruth for almost an entire year. Although it was at such a slow pace, I felt that the Lord met me right where I was throughout this study. This study guide really brought the faithfulness of the Lord to the forefront. I definitely recommend this study to anyone who is searching for answers and can’t see or feel the Lord moving in their lives. It was a very fruitful study!

A beautiful Bible study book! I love that the text of Ruth was in this along with everything else. The pictures throughout the book were beautiful. The questions were great and really got you thinking. It was a great Bible study and was broken down easily. It was set up in a way that made it not overwhelming.
